Well, these are Armenian and Jewish scholars, not me. Denying the obvious?
Source: Hovannisian, Richard G.: Armenia on the Road to Independence, 1918.
University of California Press (Berkeley and Los Angeles), 1967, p. 13.
"The addition of the Kars and Batum oblasts to the Empire increased the
area of Transcaucasia to over 130,000 square miles. The estimated population
of the entire region in 1886 was 4,700,000, of whom 940,000 (20 percent) were
Armenian, 1,200,000 (25 percent) Georgian, and 2,220,000 (45 percent) Moslem.
Of the latter group, 1,140,000 were Tatars. Paradoxically, barely one-third
of Transcaucasia's Armenians lived in the Erevan guberniia, where the
Christians constituted a majority in only three of the seven uezds. Erevan
uezd, the administrative center of the province, had only 44,000 Armenians
as compared to 68,000 Moslems. By the time of the Russian Census of 1897,
however, the Armenians had established a scant majority, 53 percent, in the
guberniia; it had risen by 1916 to 60 percent, or 670,000 of the 1,120,000
inhabitants. This impressive change in the province's ethnic character
notwithstanding, there was, on the eve of the creation of the Armenian
Republic, a solid block of 370,000 Tartars who continued to dominate the
southern districts, from the outskirts of Ereven to the border of Persia."
(See also Map 1. Historic Armenia and Map 4. Administrative subdivisions of
Transcaucasia).
In 1920, '0' percent Turk.
"We closed the roads and mountain passes that might serve as
ways of escape for the Tartars and then proceeded in the work
of extermination. Our troops surrounded village after village.
Little resistance was offered. Our artillery knocked the huts
into heaps of stone and dust and when the villages became untenable
and inhabitants fled from them into fields, bullets and bayonets
completed the work. Some of the Tartars escaped of course. They
found refuge in the mountains or succeeded in crossing the border
into Turkey. The rest were killed. And so it is that the whole
length of the borderland of Russian Armenia from Nakhitchevan to
Akhalkalaki from the hot plains of Ararat to the cold mountain
plateau of the North were dotted with mute mournful ruins of
Tartar villages. They are quiet now, those villages, except for
howling of wolves and jackals that visit them to paw over the
scattered bones of the dead."
Ohanus Appressian
"Men Are Like That"
p. 202.
"In Soviet Armenia today there no longer exists a single Turkish soul.
It is in our power to tear away the veil of illusion that some of us
create for ourselves. It certainly is possible to severe the artificial
life-support system of an imagined 'ethnic purity' that some of us
falsely trust as the only structure that can support their heart beats
in this alien land."
(Sahak Melkonian - 1920 - "Preserving the Armenian purity")

No kidding. The Armenians tore apart the Ottoman Empire's eastern provinces,
massacred 2.5 million defenseless Turkish women, children and elderly
people, burned thousands of Turkish and Kurdish villages and exterminated
the entire Turkish population of the Armenian dictatorship between
1914-1920. Such outrageous sleight of hand that is still employed today
in Armenia brings a depth and verification to the Turkish genocide
that is hard to match. A hundred years ago Armenians again thought
they could get whatever they wanted through sheer terror like the
Russian anarchists that they accepted as role models. Several Armenian
terror groups like ASALA/SDPA/ARF Terrorism and Revisionism Triangle
resorted to the same tactics in the 1980s, butchering scores of innocent
Turks and their families in the United States and Europe. It seems that
they are doing it again, at a different scale, in fascist x-Soviet Armenia
today.
A merciless massacre of the civilian population of the small Azeri
town of Khojali (Pop. 6000) in Karabagh, Azerbaijan, is reported to
have taken place on the night of Feb. 28 under a coordinated military
operation of the 366th mechanized division of the CIS army and the
Armenian insurgents. Close to 1000 people are reported to have been
massacred. Elderly and children were not spared. Many were badly beaten
and shot at close range. A sense of rage and helplessness has overwhelmed
the Azeri population in face of the well armed and equipped Armenian
insurgency. The neighboring Azeri city of Aghdam outside of the
Karabagh region has come under heavy Armenian artillery shelling. City
hospital was hit and two pregnant women as well as a new born infant
were killed. Azerbaijan is appealing to the international community to
condemn such barbaric and ruthless attacks on its population and its
sovereignty.

Most likely the tragic situation in Bosnia is a combination of ethnical
and religious motives, where religion is just one attribute that separates
the groups from each other.
But I must agree that the sad saga in Bosnia is a terrible example
of a case where religion is not helping, instead it is used as a weapon
against other humans. And my sympathies are mostly on the Bosnian side,
it looks like the Serbs are the oppressors, willing to use even
Christianity as a weapon against their former friends.

Subject: Xmas light set with 2 levels of brightness
Another version of a variable brightness Xmas light set:
This set starts with a 2 blinker 35 bulb string.
DIAGRAM: orginal 2 way set
120v---+--b-*-*-*-*-*-*-*--!
!---b-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-!
!
120rtn_____________________!
modified set for 2 level brightness:
string 1
120v---------*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*--!
\_10K_______*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-!
5w ! string 2 !
b ________________!
120v rtn__!___!
^ Note: no mods to wiring to the right of this point.
Only one blinker is used.
Note that the blinker would not have as much current thru it as the
string 1 bulbs, because of the second string of bulbs in
parallel with it. That's why the use of the 10K 5W resistor
here to add extra current thru the blinker to make up for the
current shunted thru the second string while the blinker is glowing
and the second string is not glowing. When the blinker goes open,
this resistor has only a slight effect on the brightness of the
strings, s1 slightly dimmer, s2 slightly brighter.
Or use a 3W 120v bulb in place of the 10K resistor if you can get
one. Caution, do not replace with a standard C9 bulb, as these
draw too much current and burn out the blinker. C9 = approx 7W.
What you'll see when it's working: powerup, string 1 will light
at full brightness, and b will be lit, bypassing most of the current
from the second string, making them not light. b will open, placing
both strings in series, making the string that was out to glow at a
low brightness, and the other string that was on before to glow
at reduced brightness. | 11 | trimmed_train |

Uh oh...
Umm, there are a number of copy protection schemes. Some involve
modifying the physical media, and some involve encryption schemes, &c.
All of the ones that have existed over the course of computing have
been successful for a time. I recall, however, near monthly releases of new
ways to "crack" the copy protection scheme of the latest releases. The fact
is, none of them are completely secure, or anywhere near it. Some are more or
less difficult to crack, and some have already been cracked.
I guess what I am saying is that your question is difficult, if not
impossible, to answer. What exactly do you want to know? Do you need a good
one for a project you are working on? How secure must it be? Are you trying
to crack one that someone else has used? I can probably make suggestions,
assuming the activity is strictly legal. (In general, it is a BAD idea,
legally, to tamper with copy protection. It can also lead to corruption of
files which you necessarily do not have back ups of (being as they are copy
protected,) which can be devestating.) Do you have absolutely no ideas for
practical applications, and are merely curious?
Please clear up those questions, and I'll try to help as much as I
can.
Incidentally, the "Uh oh..." at the top is indicative of the dread
anyone who has watched their friends hacking equipment be carted off feels
when they are asked how to hack. The area you are broaching is wrought with
dangers, many of which include breaking the law, or at least addressing it

5,382 | Greetings,
Probably a tired old horse, but... maybe with a slightly different
twist. I wanted to know if there are any good English-language texts
for learning ancient Hebrew, and how these compare with German
educational texts qualitywise, if anybody has an idea. I can't figure
out if I should buy one here for later study or wait until I get back to
the U.S.
Something I find interesting about studying theology in Germany is the
fact that the students get their ancient language-learning out of the
way early [I'm not a theology student, but I spend a lot of time with
such folks] in their careers. They take the first two years or so to just
do Greek and Latin and Hebrew [possibly Aramaic, too--who knows].
What's it like at divinity schools or seminaries in the States? Is
there a lot of language instruction done? I really don't have a basis
for comparison.

Hello,
I understand this philosophy. The bears are a national
treasure, the area is their sanctuary and people who enter it
do so at their own risk. It is better that that rare human be
killed by a bear than that bears be provoked or shot by unbear-savvy
visitors. The bears aren't having a population explosion, humans
are so it is better that a human be killed than endanger the bears.
I don't agree with this philosopy, but I understand it.
The psychos are a bit different. They are not a national
treasure but I suppose the decision has been made that to "allow"
provision for defense against them would also "allow" provision
for defense against bears. Again, I suppose it has been decided
that it is better for the rare human to be killed by a psycho than
to take a chance on threatening the bears.
Personally, I wouldn't go into an area where I would be
"managed" so as to reduce my safety ..... but ... come to think
of it I guess I live in a managed wilderness myself :-) | 9 | trimmed_train |

I suspect you mean laparoscopic instead of orthoscopic.
By far the (still) best method to diagnose a hernia is old fashioned
physical examination. If you have an obvious hernia sac coming down
into your scrotum, or a bulge in your groin that is brought about by
increasing intra-abdominal pressure....
Sometimes is not that obvious. The hernia is small and you can only
detect it by putting your finger into the inguinal canal.
Whether you have a recurrent hernia, or this is related to the previous
operation, I can't tell you. The person that examined you is in the best
position to make that determination.
Are there non-invasive ways of diagnosing a hernia? Every now and then
folks write about CT scans and ultrasounds for this. But these are far
too expensive, and unlikely to be better than a trained examining finger.

5,975 | INTENSIVE JAPANESE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH THIS SUMMER
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The University of Pittsburgh is offering two intensive Japanese language
courses this summer. Both courses, Intensive Elementary Japanese and
Intensive Intermediate Japanese, are ten week, ten credit courses
each equivalent to one full year of Japanese language study. They begin
June 7 and end August 13. The courses meet five days per week, five hours
per day. There is a flat rate tuition charge of $1600 per course.
Fellowships available for science and engineering students. Contact
Steven Brener, Program Manager of the Japanese Science and Technology
Management Program, at the University of Pittsburgh at the number or
address below.
ALL INTERESTED INDIVIDUALS ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY, THIS IS NOT LIMITED TO
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.

################# New Program Announcement ########################
#######################################################################
JAPANESE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Japanese Science and Technology Management Program (JSTMP) is a new
program jointly developed by the University of Pittsbugh and Carnegie Mellon
University. Students and professionals in the engineering and scientific
communitites are encouraged to apply for classes commencing in June 1993 and
January 1994.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The program intends to promote technology transfer between Japan and the
United States. It is also designed to let scientists, engineers, and managers
experience how the Japanese proceed with technological development. This is
facilitated by extended internships in Japanese research facilities and
laboratories that provide participants with the opportunity to develop
long-term professional relationships with their Japanese counterparts.
PROGRAM DESIGN
To fulfill the objectives of the program, participants will be required to
develop advanced language capability and a deep understanding of Japan and
its culture. Correspondingly, JSTMP consists of three major components:
1. TRAINING IN THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE
Several Japanese language courses will be offered, including intensive courses
designed to expedite language preparation for scientists and engineers in a
relatively short time.
2. EDUCATION IN JAPANESE BUSINESS AND SOCIAL CULTURE
A particular enphasis is placed on attaining a deep understanding of the
cultural and educational basis of Japanese management approaches in
manufacturing and information technology. Courses will be available in a
variety of departments throughout both universities including Anthropology,
Sociology, History, and Political Science. Moreover, seminars and colloquiums
will be conducted. Further, a field trip to Japanese manufacturing or
research facilities in the United States will be scheduled.
3. AN INTERNSHIP OR A STUDY MISSION IN JAPAN
Upon completion of their language and cultural training at PITT and CMU,
participants will have the opportunity to go to Japan and observe,
and participate in the management of technology. Internships in Japan
will generally run for one year; however, shorter ones are possible.
FELLOWSHIPS COVERING TUITION FOR LANGUAGE AND CULTURE COURSES, AS WELL AS
STIPENDS FOR LIVING EXPENSES ARE AVAILABLE.

Like it or not, Edward, Anwar has a very good, valid point. Obviously,
in presenting it, he (quite legitimately and deliberately) takes a point
of view to an extreme which might not have been what you intended, but
that is one of the best ways to demonstrate a "slippery slope" type of
argument, which I believe was his aim.
I very frankly believe that the ADL will be proved innocent in this
case. I doubt there's enough evidence to weigh against them even in a
civil court, where preponderance of the evidence, not evidence beyond
any reasonable doubt, is the standard for "winning" such a case. That,
however, does not prevent me from seeing the merit in Anwar's point.

If I believed in the God of the bible I would be very fearful of making
this statement. Doesn't it say those who judge will be judged by the
same measure?
A God who must motivate through fear is not a God worthy of worship.
If the God Jesus spoke of did indeed exist he would not need hell to
convince people to worship him.
It was the myth of hell that made me finally realize that the whole thing
was untrue. If it hadn't been for hell I would still be a believer today.
The myth of hell made me realize that if there was a God that he was not
the all knowing and all good God he claimed to be. Why should I take such
a being at his word, even if there was evidence for his existance?

I think you mean circular, not recursive, but that is semantics.
Recursiveness has no problems, it is just horribly inefficient (just ask
any assembly programmer.)
The oft-quoted line that says people should be guaranteed life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness as inalienable rights, is a complete lie
and deception, as the very authors of that line were in the process of
proving. Liberty is never free, it is always purchased at some cost,
almost always at the cost to another. Whos liberty is more inalienable?
Similarly for right of life. When one person must die if he is to save
another, or even a group of others, whos life is more inalienable?
That leads into the classic question of the value of the death penalty,
especially for serial killers. Whos life and liberty is more valuable,
the serial killer, or the victim? According to that beautiful line,
those two rights should be completely inviolate, that is, noone should be
able to remove them. This _includes_ government. Admittedly the serial
killer has restricted some people's life and/or liberty, but is not his
own life/liberty inviolate also? According to the declaration of independence,
it is.
Oooh, I like that. It means that killing an infant is not murder because
it cannot be against its will. Reason, an infant has no will as such.
Similarly for people who are brain dead (easier to see), in a coma, etc.
Also, under current law, accidental killing is still murder. How will you
include that?
The only real golden rule in life is, he who has the gold, makes the
rules. I.e. Might Makes Right. That is survival. Now what is wrong
with that?
If you mean the golden rule as I stated, yes, almost every system as
implemented has used that in reality. Sorry, I don't deal as much in
fiction, as I do in reality.
WELCOME TO OZLAND!!!!!!! :)
What is NOT arbitrary? If you can find some part of society, some societal
rules, morals, etc. that are not arbitrary, please tell me. I don't think
there are any.
Sounds like euphemisms to me. The difference seems to be, that objective
is some reasoning that I like, while arbitrary is some reasoning that
I don't like OR don't understand. | 8 | trimmed_train |

even grief, over the deaths in Waco.
Fact: Regardless of who started the fire, there are more than enough

come to mind.
Fact: It is a federal felony to infringe civil rights under color of
law; where death is involved, this offense carries a penalty
of life in prison.
Fact: Impeachment is allowable for "high crimes and misdemeanors."
Anything that's a federal felony should qualify.
Conclusion: We have NO CHOICE, if we are an honest people, but to
impeach Mr. Clinton, and remove Reno from office. | 9 | trimmed_train |

Well put, Jim. I am as concerned about the media's complicity in this
growing coverup. Can you imagine the media outrage, the lawsuits, the
investigations that would emit if the government kept the media away from
any other story? Particularly if a Republican administration had been
behind it. What's going on here?
Let's look beyond the initial blunder and examine what happened next.
I'm a student of human phychology, particularly in the area of psy-ops
because I've found some of the techniques to be useful in business
negotiations. That puts me firmly in the amateur ranks. This AMATEUR
knows that the first thing to do when sizing up the opponent is to do a
psychological profile on him. You can bet your ass the FBI had
professionally done profiles on Koresh. Koresh's behavior was
emminently predictable. It is typical of people who move away from
civilization to be willing to fight to the death to preserve their
isolation. It would also be typical, given Koresh's religious
orientation, for such an individual to interpret a government assault as
the apocalypse. Suicide is as an acceptable alternative to being
consumed in the apocalypse.
IMHO, the FBI knew all this and decided after 50 days of concentrated
psy-ops to initiate that apocalypse. I believe they chose a course of
action designed specifically to push Koresh over the edge while publicly
appearing to be acting reasonably. They KNEW that Koresh considered the
tanks to be the Chariots of Fire mentioned in the Book of Revelations.
They KNEW that sending tanks, oops, combat engineering vehicles,
obstensibly to perform "gas insertions" (love that NewSpeak) WOULD push
him over the edge.
Look at some supporting evidence. Koresh's attorney mentioned on TV
earlier today (4/20) that one of Koresh's major concern was the biblical
role of the tanks stationed around the compound. The FBI (through Reno
on Larry King last night and at the news conference this morning)
claimed to have listening devices in the compound. If that was true
they KNEW their actions were driving him to the brink. They KNEW they
were pushing the Davidians toward mass suicide. Any rational and
reasonable agency NOT interested in killing those people would, at
the first sign of preparations for suicide, have pulled completely back and
would have gotten rid of all the armor. Instead they continued with the
"gas insertion" right up to the point where flames appeared. The image
that will remain etched in my mind is that of the tank strutting back
and forth in front of the burning compound, gloating over the kill.
Let's step back and assess how this thing could have been ended without
bloodshed. This technique would have required a law enforcement agency
interested in constitutionally enforcing the law and in the preservation
of life instead of achieving a military victory and of vengence.
The way to have nabbed Koresh was simply to have announced a pull back,
abandoned the assault, torn down the concertina wire and removed the
armor, maintained covert surveillance of the compound and then exploited
his ego to flush him out. Exploiting his ego would have been simple. A
simple invite or two from the tabloid talk shows to come on TV and tell
how he whipped the US government would have been something he could not
have resisted. He could have then been nabbed when he left the
compound. Simple, clean and safe but because it would have required the
FBI to execute a tactical retreat and would have deprived them of the
revenge they sought, it was totally out of the question. Not without
all that testesterone floating around. After all Jannet Reno had to
show the world how big her balls are.
Yesterday was a sad, sad day for the American system. I am sick to my
very soul.

3,629 | Here is a press release from the Natural Resources Defense Council.
New Data Show About 100 Major U.S. Water Supplies Vulnerable To
Milwaukee-Type Disease Outbreak
To: National Desk, Environment Writer
Contact: Erik Olson or Sarah Silver, 202-783-7800, both
of the Natural Resources Defense Council
WASHINGTON, April 14 -- Internal EPA data released
today by the Natural Resources Defense Council reveals that about
100 large water systems -- serving cities from Boston to San
Francisco -- do not filter to remove disease-carrying organisms
leaving those communities potentially vulnerable to a disease
outbreak similar to the one affecting Milwaukee.
The EPA list is attached.
"These internal EPA documents reveal that the safety of water
supplies in many American cities is threatened by inadequate
pollution controls or filtration," said Erik Olson, a senior
attorney with NRDC. "Water contamination isn't just a problem in
Bangladesh, it's also a problem in Bozeman and Boston."
"As of June 29, 1993, about 100 large surface water systems on
EPA's list probably will be breaking the law. The 1986 Safe
Drinking Water Act requires all surface water systems to either
filter their water or fully protect the rivers or lakes they use
from pollution," Olson continued. Some systems are moving
towards eventually implementing filtration systems but are
expected to miss the law's deadline.
Olson pointed out that the threat of contamination is already
a reality in other cities. A 1991 survey of 66 U.S. surface
water systems by water utility scientists found that 87 percent
of raw water samples contained the Milwaukee organism
cryptosporidium, and 81 percent contained a similar parasite
called giardia.
Adding to the level of concern, a General Accounting Office
study released today by House Health and Environment Subcommittee
Chairman Henry Waxman indicates serious deficiencies in the
nation's system for conducting and following through on sanitary
surveys of water systems.
"This new information raises a huge warning sign that millions
of Americans can no longer simply turn on their taps and be
assured that their water is safe to drink. We must immediately
put into place programs to protect water sources from
contamination and where this is not assured, filtration equipment
must be installed to protect the public," Olson noted. "The time
has come for many of the nation's water utilities to stop
dragging their feet and to aggressively protect their water from
contamination; consumers are prepared to pay the modest costs
needed to assure their water is safe to drink."
NRDC is a national non-profit environmental advocacy organization.

Well people fortunatly or unfortunatly ,
only the US is experiencing the devaluation of human life (among
developed nations).
I am an American but I was raised in Europe, where the worst thing that
can happen to somebody is get his car broken into, or have his pocket
picked by Slaves or Russian refugees.
Of cource there will be some nutcases, but thats extremely rare.
I.e. in Greece you can walk through any neighborhood at any time during
the night without even worrying.
In Germany , you can walk the sidewalks at 4.00 am and not even look
behind your back, at the sanitation crews that clean the streets to a
sparkling cleen.
Whoever of you have been there you know what I am saying.
I dont have any easy answers but if we as a nation do some selfcritisism
we might get somewhere.
Of course these postings sould be in soc.culture.US but if we reduce
crime here it 'll mean less car insurance rates ,thus we could spend
more money on modifing our cars. (Now my posting is rec.autos.tech
revelant).

If possible (last I heard, it was out of print but they were considering

captures the weirdness of the early Christians and yet gives glimpses of
the holiness too. Some of their odd views make a lot more sense in the
context of the society they lived in. I found it a remarkably positive
view of Christianity considering that the author is not a Christian

The way you are interpreting those passages is your opinion. You make

Another (albeit strange) option is using a program like 800 II

(also available via anonymous FTP), that allows you to format
5.25HD disks to 1.44Meg, or 3.5"HD disks to 1.2Meg (along with
many MANY other formats!) so you can DISKCOPY (yes, the broken
MeSsy-DOS DISKCOPY!) the 5.25" disks onto 3.5" disks or vice
versa... I use this techniques with "NON-DOS" self-booting
game disks on my old Tandy 1000, and it works... Another program
named Teledisk (shareware--available on many major BBS's) will
also make the weird format disks, provided you have 800 II
or FDFormat installed.... Some disks that won't DISKCOPY
properly can be readily Teledisk'd into the proper format...

babies are born in such a state that should they die, they are cuf off
from God and put in hell, which is exactly the doctrine of St. Augustine
and St. Thomas. Of coures, having only original sins on thier souls,
they suffer the lightest punishment, the loss of the vision oand
presence of God, but that does not change the undeniable fact that they
cannot possibly come to a forgivenss of original sin, nor can they
inherit eternal life. "That," as St. Augustine said, "Is what the
Pelagian heretics taught." Which is why he said later, "If you want to
be a Christian, do not teach that unbaptized infants can come to a
forgivenss of original sin."] | 0 | trimmed_train |

So, it's okay to use civilians for cover if you're attacking soldiers
in your country. (Of course, many of those attacking claim that they
aren't Lebanese, so it's not their country.)
Got it. I think. Hmm. This is confusing.
Could you perhaps repeat your rules explaining exactly when it is
permissible to use civilians as shields? Also please explain under
what conditions it is permissible for soldiers to defend themselves.
Also please explain the particular rules that make it okay for
terrorists to launch missiles from Lebanon against Israeli civilians,
but not okay for the Israelis to try to defend themselves against
those missiles.

5,456 | Recurrent Volvulus
-------------------
This is regarding recurrent volvulus which our little boy
has been suffering from ever since he was an infant. He had
a surgery when he was one year old. Another surgery had
to be performed one year after, when he was two years old.
He turned three this February and he is still getting
afflicted by this illness, like having to get hospitalised
for vomitting and accompanying stomach pain.He managed
not having a third surgery so far.
* One thing me and my wife noticed is that his affliction
peaks around the time he was born, on nearabouts, like in
March every year. Any significance to this?
* Why does this recur? Me and my family go through severe pain
when our little boy have to undergo surgery. Why does surgery
not rectify the situation?
* Also, which hospital in US or Canada specialize in this malady?
* What will be a good book explaining this disease in detail?
* Will keeping a particular diet keep down the probability of
recurrence?
* As time goes on, will the probability of recurrence go down
considering he is getting stronger and healthier and probably
less prone to attacks? Or is this assumption wrong?
* Any help throwing light on these queries will be highly appreciated.
Thanks very much! | 19 | trimmed_train |

You're assuming that the low-cost delivery system has to be a separate
project. But why? If you are spending hundreds of millions of dollars
in hopes of winning a billion-dollar prize, it is *cheaper* to develop
your own launch system, charging its entire development cost against
your contest entry, than to try to do it with existing launchers. No
other demand is necessary.
You're assuming that it's going to take a decade to build a new launch
system. But why? The Saturn V took less than six years, depending on
exactly when you date its start. Pegasus took about three from project
start to first flight. Before SDIO chickened out on orbital development,
the target date for an orbital DC-Y flight was 1996. If you really want
speed, consider that the first prototypes of the Thor missile (still in
service as the core of the Delta launcher) shipped to the USAF less
than 18 months after the development go-ahead. | 10 | trimmed_train |

Having thought about this, why don't you project the 2 lines onto the 2d
plane formed by the lines. Do an intersection calculation in the plane in
2D, where you're guaranteed a unique solution (unless they're parallel which
won't happen in this case), and then use parametric distance along the lines
from the circle centres to determine the exact point of interest. This
bypasses the messy error propogation required to do the calculation in 3d.
Hope I haven't put my foot in it again!

Since we are talking in theory and opinion, then I'll put in my $.02.
First, a rebuttle. Personally, I love under-dogs. Unlike
bandwagon jumpers, I abandon teams when they start winning. People that
cheer for winners just because they are winners are insecure people who are
afraid to be associated with something negative.
On this one point, I agree. The reason that people bash WASP's is
because they have been on top for a long time. Whoever is on top is
going to oppress whoever is below them so that they can stay on top.
If Hannibal had pushed on to Rome after his victory at Cannae we might
all be bashing the blacks for oppressing us peacefull white people
for all these centuries. I seriously doubt that if the blacks had
conquered the world that they would have treated their colonies any
better/worse than the whites did.
The white race did some unspeakable things to the other races of
the world. But they only did what any other conquering race would have done
(ie. Khan). The real question is, should we carry over that blame to the
present generation who didn't participate in the crimes? Would it do
any good? Has it done Bosnia any good? They are fighting wars that stopped
hundreds, even thousands, of years ago.
My opinion is, if there are inequities now, then let's change
them. But don't blame me for what my ancestors did. It wouldn't settle
anything anyway.
That's where you are dead wrong. You don't join up on a side just because
they are winning. That makes you spineless. Winning, in high school and
after high school, is still the best way to be popular, but it doesn't make
you right. All the best causes in history were loosing causes (with only
a couple exceptions). Winning only makes a difference to other people, not
to yourself. And what good is the opinions of other people if they only care
how you appear (ie. a Winner).
If you can't beat them, fight them every inch of the way.

As one of the happily sleeping people, I would just like to ask this->
aren't people just slightly overreacting to this? Or are we all of a
sudden going to draw parallels to Nazi Germany and Communist Russia?
The point of the matter is that; yes this is a serious problem. But it is
not the end of the world. Guess what? We're doing something now you
can't do in a Communist country or Nazi Germany. We're complaining about
it, (or rather, you're complaining about it) and nobody is shooting at us.
(Or, rather, if they're shooting at me, they have real bad aim. (:-) )
GUESS WHAT PEOPLE? You live in one of the few countries in the world
where a person can complain without getting shot at.
People are always complaining that somebody did this wrong, or somebody
did that wrong, or whatever. Sit down and figure out two things:
1) What have they done right?
2) How much worse can it get?
And you'll find that you and I, are pretty damn lucky.
So let's talk about it, get some action going, decide what's going on.
But let's not overreact!

DEPOSITION OF VANYA BAGRATOVICH BAZIAN
Born 1940
Foreman
Baku Spetsmontazh Administration (UMSMR-1)
Resident at Building 36/7, Apartment 9
Block 14
Sumgait [Azerbaijan]
During the first days of the events, the 27th and the 28th [of February], I
was away on a business trip. On the 10th I had got my crew, done the paper-
work, and left for the Zhdanov District. That's in Azerbaijan, near the
Nagorno Karabagh region.
After the 14th, rumors started to the effect that in Karabagh, specifically
in Stepanakert, an uprising had taken place. They said "uprising" in
Azerbaijani, but I don't think it was really an uprising, just a
demonstration. After that the unrest started. Several Armenians living in the
Zhdanov District were injured. How were they injured? They were beaten, even
women; it was said that they were at the demonstrations, but they live here,
and went from here to Karabagh to demonstrate. After that I felt uneasy. There
were some conversations about Armenians among the local population: the
Armenians had done this, the Armenians had done that. Right there at the site.
I was attacked a couple of times by kids. Well true, the guys from my crew
wouldn't let them come at me with cables and knives. After that I felt really
bad. I didn't know where to go. I up and called home. And my children tell me,
"There's unrest everywhere, be careful." Well I had a project going on. I told
the Second Secretary of the District Party Committee what had been going on
and said I wanted to take my crew off the site. They wouldn't allow it, they
said, "Nothing's going to happen to you, we've entrusted the matter to the
police, we've warned everyone in the district, nothing will happen to you."
Well, in fact they did especially detail us a policeman to look after me, he
knows all the local people and would protect me if something happened. This
man didn't leave me alone for five minutes: he was at work the whole time and
afterward he spent the night with us, too.
I sense some disquiet and call home; my wife also tells me, "The situation is
very tense, be careful."
We finished the job at the site, and I left for Sumgait first thing on the
morning of the 29th. When we left the guys warned me, they told me that I
shouldn't tell anyone on the way that I was an Armenian. I took someone else's
business travel documents, in the name of Zardali, and hid my own. I hid it
and my passport in my socks. We set out for Baku. Our guys were on the bus,
they sat behind, and I sat up front. In Baku they had come to me and said that
they had to collect all of our travel documents just in case. As it turns out
they knew what was happening in Sumgait.
I arrive at the bus station and there they tell me that the city of Sumgait is
closed, there is no way to get there. That the city is closed off and the
buses aren't running. Buses normally leave Baku for Sumgait almost every two
minutes. And suddenly--no buses. Well, we tried to get there via private
drivers. One man, an Azerbaijani, said, "Let's go find some other way to get
there." They found a light transport vehicle and arranged for the driver to
take us to Sumgait.
He took us there. But the others had said, "I wouldn't go if you gave me a
thousand rubles." "Why?" "Because they're burning the city and killing the
Armenians. There isn't an Armenian left." Well I got hold of myself so I could
still stand up. So we squared it away, the four of us got in the car, and we
set off for Sumgait. On the way the driver says, "In fact there aren't any
Armenians left. 'They burned them all, beat them all, and stabbed them." Well
I was silent. The whole way--20-odd miles--I was silent. The driver asks me,
"How old are you, old man?" He wants to know: if I'm being that quiet, not
saying anything, maybe it means I'm an Armenian. "How old are you?" he asks
me. I say, "I'm 47." "I'm 47 too, but I call you 'old man'." I say, "It
depends on God, each person's life in this world is different." I look much
older than my years, that's why he called me old man. Well after that he was
silent, too.
We're approaching the city, I look and see tanks all around, and a cordon.
Before we get to the Kavkaz store the driver starts to wave his hand. Well, he
was waving his hand, we all start waving our hands. I'm sitting there with
them, I start waving my hand, too. I realized that this was a sign that meant
there were no Armenians with us.
I look at the city--there is a crowd of people walking down the middle of the
street, you know, and there's no traffic. Well probably I was scared. They
stopped our car. People were standing on the sidewalks. They have armature
shafts, and stones . . . And they stopped us . . .
Along the way the driver tells us how they know who's an Armenian and who's
not. The Armenians usually . . . For example, I'm an Armenian, but I speak
their language very well. Well Armenians usually pronounce the Azeri word for
"nut," or "little nut," as "pundukh," but "fundukh" is actually correct. The
pronunciations are different. Anyone who says "pundukh," even if they're not
Armenian, they immediately take out and start to slash. Another one says,
"There was a car there, with five people inside it," he says. "They started
hitting the side of it with an axe and lit it on fire. And they didn't let the
people out," he says, "they wouldn't let them get out of the car." I only saw
the car, but the driver says that he saw everything. Well he often drives from
Baku to Sumgait and back . . .
When they stop us we all get out of the car. I look and there's a short guy,
his eyes are gleaming, he has an armature shaft in one hand and a stone in
the other and asks the guys what nationality they are one by one. "We're
Azerbaijani,' they tell him, 'no Armenians here." He did come up to me when
we were pulling our things out and says, "Maybe you're an Armenian, old man?"
But in Azerbaijani I say, "You should be ashamed of yourself!" And . . . he
left. Turned and left. That was all that happened. What was I to do? I had
to . . . the city was on fire, but I had to steal my children out of my own
home.
They stopped us at the entrance to Mir Street, that's where the Kavkaz store
and three large, 12-story buildings are. That's the beginning of down-town. I
saw that burned automobile there, completely burned, only metal remained. I
couldn't figure out if it was a Zhiguli or a Zaporozhets. Later I was told it
was a Zhiguli. And the people in there were completely incinerated. Nothing
remained of them, not even any traces. That driver had told me about it, and I
saw the car myself. The car was there. The skeleton, a metallic carcass. About
30 to 40 yards from the Kavkaz store.
I see a military transport, an armored personnel carrier. The hatches are
closed. And people are throwing armature shafts and pieces of iron at it, the
crowd is. And I hear shots, not automatic fire, it's true, but pistol shots.
Several shots. There were Azerbaijanis crowded around that personnel carrier.
Someone in the crowd was shooting. Apparently they either wanted to kill the
soldiers or get a machine gun or something. At that point there was only one
armored personnel carrier. And all the tanks were outside the city, cordoning
off Sumgait.
I walked on. I see two Azerbaijanis going home from the plant. I can tell by
their gait that they're not bandits, they're just people, walking home. I
joined them so in case something happened, in case someone came up to us
and asked questions, either of us would be in a position to answer, you see.
But I avoided the large groups because I'm a local and might be quickly
recognized. I tried to keep at a distance, and walked where there were fewer
people. Well so I walked into Microdistrict 2, which is across from our block.
I can't get into our block, but I walked where there were fewer people, so as
to get around. Well there I see a tall guy and 25 to 30 people are walking
behind him. And he's shouting into a megaphone: "Comrades, the Armenian-
Azerbaijani war has begun!"
The police have megaphones like that. So they're talking and walking around
the second microdistrict. I see that they're coming my way, and turn off
behind a building. I noticed that they walked around the outside buildings,
and inside the microdistricts there were about 5 or 6 people standing on every
corner, and at the middles of the buildings, and at the edges. What they were
doing I can't say, because I couldn't get up close to them, I was afraid. But
the most important thing was to get away from there, to get home, and at least
find out if my children were alive or not . . .

2,933 | Hi,
I am not sure where to post this message, please contact me if I'm way off
the mark.
On 19.3.93 my wife went to her General Practitioner (Doctor). He mentioned
an article from a medical journal that is of great interest to us. He had
read it in the previous three months but has been unable to find it again.
The article was about Whiplash Injury/Cervical Pain. It mentions the use of
a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imagery) machine as a diagnostic tool and the work
of a neurosurgeon who relived cervical pain.
This article is most likely in an Australian medical journal. I very much
want to obtain the name of the article, journal and author because the case
matches my wife. We would very much appreciate anyone's help in this matter
via email preferably.

The only difference is the time the driver gets loaded. mouse.sys will be
loaded during the config.sys and therefor before the command.com. mouse.com
will be loaded during autoexec.bat and so after the command.com.
mouse.com could be started from the commandline after the booting and it
could - perhaps - be unloaded, if no other driver is loaded after it.
The working of both drivers is totally the same.
When I ran dos, I preferred loading most of the drivers in autoexec.bat,
because some programs won't run with some drivers and I could choose the
ones I needed during startup. But with DRDOS6, this advantage is gone,
because DRDOS lets you choose in config.sys which drivers should be loaded.

The American press routinely uses the word fundamentalist to
refer to both Christians and Jews. Christian fundementalists are
often refered to in the context of anti-abortion protests. The
American media also uses fundamentalist to refer to Jews who live in
Judea, Samaria or Gaza, and to any Jew who follows the torah.

Here is my traditional experience with tickets, playoffs and otherwise,
at the Civic Arena.
Scalping is illegal but nonetheless present outside the Arena. Best
strategy, given that you don't mind missing the Anthem (which is OK if B.E.
Taylor decides to come back ever again :) ) is to wait until 7:40 or 7:45,
when the game is rolling; the scalpers are at this point desperate to sell
and will reduce to near or at face value to get rid of their tickets.
Playoffs are a little different in that good seats will go early on;
what's left at 7:45 may be nosebleed material (D, E sections).
Others can add on their opinions as well. | 17 | trimmed_train |
